داخرقان

دَاخَرَّقَان (name)

Etymology: From Middle Persian univerbized from the word for “country, land, village”, which is in Classical Persian دِه (dih), and the name of a military minister employed under Khusrow I and Khusrow II known from the Battle of Jalula and named in Arabic mostly نَخِيرْجَان (naḵīrjān) and نَخَارْجَان (naḵārjān) but most correctly in Classical Syriac ܢܟܘܪܓܢ (/⁠*naḵwārgān⁠/), of dubious interpretation, but the settlement nigh croplands took this army commander’s name for the strategical importance as a rich treasury of provisions, according to a local interpretation transmitted by Yāqūt al-Ḥamawī, who only knows it as دِهْنَخِيرْجَان (dihnaḵīrjān) and completely clipped خَرَّقَان (ḵarraqān).

Meaning: a former town in today’s East Azerbaijan Province in Iran; modern Azarshahr
